Federal investigators from the Federal Drug Administration are trying to figure out how exactly Heath Ledger got his hands on the two drugs that killed him, Oxycodone (OxyContin) and hydrocodone (Vicodin). He didn’t have a prescription for ether of the two drugs. He either purchased them illegally or someone gave them to him.

My guess is that someone gave them to him. Something tells me that Heath Ledger wasn’t schlepping around the East Village buying pain pills.

Investigators want to question Mary-Kate Olsen. The creepy looking former child actor was a close friend of Heath Ledger. When a masseuse entered Ledger’s apartment and found him dead, she called Mary-Kate Olsen three times before even calling 911. The masseuse worked for Mary-Kate Olsen as well as Heath Ledger.

Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to speak to investigators unless she is given immunity. I wonder what she has to hide? My guess is that she was the one that gave Heath Ledger the pills.

From Albany, New York’s Channel 6 News:

A 38-year-old Queensbury man has been arrested on drug charges after police say he sold pills to an undercover officer.

Brad Ballard faces two counts of felony fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office said Ballard sold hydrocodone pills to an undercover police officer on more than one occasion in the town of Queensbury.

Ballard was arraigned in Queensbury Town Court where bail was set at $25,000 cash.

Even before reading that article, I knew he wasn’t selling diet pills.  His name may be Brad Ballard, but as pointed out on FARK, he bares an uncanny resemblance to Peter Griffin on The Family Guy.
